Can't believe that it's only a month until Christmas but a trip to a local Christmas market to help sell crafts for our Congo association was a bit of a wake up call. Yet again I did a lot of chatting to people I knew who stopped by the stall and not a lot of selling. Only did the morning stint as there was a fund raising lunch back in the village. Here, they don't go in for those bowl of soup dos, this was a very filling pork (every bit of the pig imaginable)and white bean stew.
Received the sad news that Pat (Mum's neighbour's son-in-law) had died from long-standing heart problems (there are a lot of them about. His wife was at school with my sister and she and Pat came here to visit a few years back.
Rather better news was that the UMP, right wingers, are in disarray after both Fillon (who's married to a Welsh women, by the way) and Copé are both claiming to have won the party leadership election. Fun and games to follow no doubt.
